Day two and at dawn there were fears that yet another day of frustration awaited the 108 boat fleet at the National Squib Championships held under the burgee of Weymouth Sailing Club. However as the fleet left the harbour there was 15 knots of wind. Such promise was not fulfilled although at least the fleet kept moving until the last beat and run.

The wind constantly moved right as it followed the sun and in contrast to the previous day, positions changed dramatically. The leaders at the last windward mark lost it by the finish. Indeed the eventual winners, Dave Best and Pete Richards in Crossfire 797, were only 22nd at the first mark and 5th at the final windward mark making through only on the last almost windless run. Second was Banshee 65, Nigel Harris and John Stephenson 2000 National Champions and 3rd was Brimstone, Bryan and Jenny Riley Champions in 1990 and 1993.

Cariad Bach, Alan Johnson and David Garlick, had another good day adding a 4th to their victory the day before while six times national champions, Chris and Mark Hogan, in Rico'shea 136, came in fifth. Rounding out the top ten were Alchemy 800, Pani Munta 128, Longshot 781, Battalion 51 and White Magic 828.

Young Freddie Warren-Smith, all of 14 years old, helmed 13 Aquabat to 37th following his 45th of the day before, escaping the fate of many boats who were actually lapped in the final very difficult conditions.
